When Banshou and the other three people saw the mountain of snake meat and the pile of snakeskin on the ground, they couldn't help but reveal an aghast expression on their faces.
"Bo … Boss, you didn't kill the evil dragon in the Walled Hill Star Lake, right?" Banshou glanced at the battered and exhausted Tan Xiu as he asked with a stutter.
"Evil dragon? What's going on? " Tan Xiu originally wanted to scold Banshou for talking too much, but he found that Banshou seemed to be very familiar with Walled Hill Village, so Tan Xiu swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Tan Xiu really wanted to know more about Walled Hill Village. From last night's contact with the villagers at the foot of Walled Hill Village, he could tell that these Walled Hill Village's natives were obviously very wary of outsiders. Thus, it was very difficult for Tan Xiu to get any useful information from their mouths.
"I … I came from Walled Hill Village. I heard from Grandpa that there was an evil dragon hiding in the Walled Hill Star Lake. Every full moon night, it would drill out of the Walled Hill Star Lake and steal the livestock raised by the villagers in the mountain. Over time, the people in Walled Hill Village simply didn't dare to raise livestock, because no matter how much they raised, they would only be helping the evil dragon feed them."
"In order to avoid being injured by the evil dragon, almost every household in the mountain would hang a red lantern in front of their door. Moreover, it must be lit every night. The hunters also didn't dare to go hunting in the mountain, fearing that they would accidentally be swallowed by the evil dragon."
"But speaking about it, it's also strange. There hasn't been any news about the evil dragon for almost 20 years. Everyone thought that the evil dragon had died or moved to another place. I never thought that it would appear again, moreover, it would even die in your hands."
… …
Because of his excitement, Banshou intermittently talked about all the information he knew about the Black Python. Banshou himself didn't know whether these rumors were true or false, because Tan Xiu could tell that some of them were obviously fabricated by the villagers.
"There's been no movement for nearly 20 years. Was he in seclusion to break through his bottleneck, or was he in a weakened state because of his injuries?" Suddenly, Tan Xiu's eyes flashed with excitement.
If the Black Python had been in a weakened state for the past twenty years because of its injuries, then it meant that there was another fierce beast hiding in the vicinity of Walled Hill Village. Then, he would have the materials needed to cultivate the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis's second layer cultivation technique, Stars Tyrannical Body Refining Liquid.
Half an hour later, all the snake meat on the ground had been moved onto the truck.
Almost at the same time, Banshou also received a call from Dingzi. It turned out that the freezer had been rented.
"Boss, you rented the freezer to store the snake meat, right? It's just that there's so much snake meat. You can't eat it all by yourself. Even if you supply it to the Linjia Restaurant, there will still be a lot of surplus. Why don't you just resell the snake meat? Not only can you generate income, but you can also avoid the rental fees. "Halfway through the journey, Banshou muttered.
"All the snake meat is highly toxic. I'm using it for another purpose, so it can't be eaten." Tan Xiu stared at Banshou for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Tan Xiu's explanation, Banshou couldn't help but sweat. He realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly apologized.
Tan Xiu knew that Banshou had good intentions, so he didn't say anything. If he wasn't afraid that Banshou would steal and eat the snake meat, he would be too lazy to explain.
After Banshou said something wrong, he didn't dare to utter a word along the way. When the others saw that Tan Xiu seemed to be thinking about something, they also didn't dare to make any noise, so as to avoid provoking Tan Xiu's anger.
Along the way, without any words, the vehicle soon arrived at the freezer in the Old River Street District, where Dingzi was waiting for Tan Xiu and his group.
"You guys aren't bad by nature. In the future, don't do things like extortion and harming people. If you're willing, you can go work in the restaurant. You don't need to stay in the restaurant all day, just help out once in a while. For example, physical labor like purchasing goods, as well as word of mouth publicity and so on." When Banshou, Dingzi, and his group had spent tremendous effort to move all the snake meat into the freezer, Tan Xiu muttered to himself.
After a few days of observation and understanding, Tan Xiu found that although Banshou, Dingzi, and his group used to mix with Zeta Persei, they were not willing to live that kind of life. It was only because they didn't have any special skills, and they were always ridiculed by their family and friends. Therefore, they wanted to make some noise so that their family and friends would look at them with new eyes.
Unexpectedly, Banshou, Dingzi, and their group had overreached themselves. After they followed Zeta Persei, not only did they fail to make their family and friends look at them with new eyes, but their family and friends became increasingly cold and disgusted with them. So, they simply smashed the pot, so that things developed in a vicious circle and became out of control.
"Thank you for taking us in, Boss. We will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Rest assured, Boss. In the future, we'll take care of all the hard and tiring work in the restaurant. We guarantee that Auntie won't be tired."
"If some blind person dares to harass the restaurant, we'll make him go in vertically and come out horizontally!"
Upon hearing Tan Xiu's words, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others, who were just sitting on the ground with tired faces and gasping for breath, instantly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Although the business of the Linjia Restaurant was not good before, they had seen the popularity of the Linjia Restaurant in the past few days.
To say the least, even if the business of the Linjia Restaurant was bleak, it didn't matter to them, because they had an ulterior motive. They just wanted to take the opportunity of working in the restaurant to get close to Tan Xiu and build a good relationship with Tan Xiu. If Tan Xiu was happy and could give them some pointers, they would be rich.
Not to mention that the restaurant's business was so booming. Based on their understanding of Su Lingyun, as long as they got Su Lingyun's approval, it would be absolutely impossible for Su Lingyun to be mean to them. In this way, they would be able to reveal their work to others and gain face in front of their family and friends.
"There's some money in here. You can take it as compensation for renovating the restaurant and helping us with the work this time." Seeing the excited faces of Banshou, Dingzi, and the others, Tan Xiu naturally knew what they were thinking in their hearts. He didn't care about it, and with a smile, he fished out a bank card and handed it over to Banshou and Dingzi.
"Also, I want you all beaten up from top to bottom. If you go to the restaurant like this, you will only scare away the customers." Staring at Banshou and the others for a moment, Tan Xiu added.
The reason why Tan Xiu gave the money to Banshou, Dingzi, and the others was because he had accidentally overheard the conversation between Banshou, Dingzi, and the others in a remote place.
Although Dingzi had rented the warehouse, he had only paid a deposit of more than 1,000 yuan. He hadn't paid the entire amount. The reason was very simple — Dingzi had no money, he really had no money.
All these years, Banshou and Dingzi's life had always been one where they would drink today and get drunk tomorrow, and worry tomorrow and worry tomorrow. They were the typical members of the Moonshine Clan.
Previously, when renovating the restaurant, Zeta Persei, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others had pooled together nearly 600,000 yuan. Among which, 100,000 yuan was the advance payment given to them by Shangwen Real Estate, and 200,000 yuan was seized from Shangwen Real Estate by Zeta Persei and the others through threats and promises. As for the remaining 200,000 yuan, it was pooled together by Zeta Persei, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others by contributing all their savings.
After renovating the restaurant, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others were completely emptied. Therefore, when Tan Xiu asked them to do something, they were also strapped for cash.
Tan Xiu couldn't do such a thing. In fact, when he was in the Immortal World, Tan Xiu had always been extravagant with his subordinates.
In fact, when he was in the Immortal World, Tan Xiu had always been extravagant with his subordinates. He had never been stingy when it came to rewards.
After throwing the bank card to Banshou and the others, Tan Xiu went to the school on foot.
Although Tan Xiu had already collected all the materials needed to refine the Body Refining Liquid, he couldn't wait to immediately go into closed-door cultivation. However, thinking that once he went into closed-door cultivation, he would most likely not come out for ten days to half a month, he had no choice but to go to the school and ask for a long vacation.
What Tan Xiu didn't know was that when he went to the school, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others were all shocked by the amount of money in the bank card.
Previously, when Tan Xiu threw the bank card to them, although Banshou and the others tactfully refused, but when they saw Tan Xiu's insistence, they were afraid that if they continued to refuse, they would anger Tan Xiu. Therefore, they reluctantly accepted the bank card.
In the eyes of Banshou and the others, even if there was money in the bank card given by Tan Xiu, it wouldn't be too much.
However, since Banshou and the others had no money to spend, they couldn't restrain their curiosity and looked for an ATM to check the amount in the bank card.
When they saw the huge amount of six digits in the bank card, they almost suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.
"273,000 yuan, I'm not mistaken, right? How could the boss be so rich?"
"Could it be that the boss is an invisible rich man, and what we see is only on the surface?"
"Like I said, the boss is so skillful, how could he be so poor? If he casually went outside to pick up a job, it would be enough for him to live a carefree life."
…
Banshou, Dingzi, and the others stared at each other, and began to discuss with each other.
They seemed to have been completely awed by Tang Xiu's formidable martial prowess. Their imaginations went wild as they thought of all kinds of possibilities. The only thing they didn't expect was that Tang Xiu had just received the money from the Game Hall, and that it had only been in Tang Xiu's hands for a night.
"Banshou, Dingzi, among us, you two are the oldest and most knowledgeable. So, how should we deal with this money? Should we divide it like this, or should we return it to the boss?" After discussing for a long time, everyone couldn't come up with a conclusion. Finally, everyone threw this difficult problem to Banshou and Dingzi.
"It's definitely not appropriate to return it to the boss. According to the boss's character, since he has given it to us, we should never think about returning it. It's not appropriate for us to divide it like this. I suggest that we save this money first, and use it for the boss's business except for the necessary expenses. "Banshou pondered for a moment and spoke out his own suggestion.
"I also think so. The boss has made it very clear that he hates our previous behavior. That is to say, we can't do things like stealing and extorting in the future. So, we have to work seriously. As long as we get the boss's approval, we can learn a few moves from the boss …" Dingzi echoed from the side. However, he was obviously a little absent-minded, and all his thoughts were on how to learn martial arts from Tan Xiu.
